I can only look back as hindsight is 2020.
Given that fact though for me it's hard to decide this. There were definitely pros and cons to EACH decades I experienced counting back from the age I am now to back when I was an infant!
Hmm 🤔
Honestly, I liked my childhood the most (way less responsibility) followed by 20's and early 30's. The teens were awesome too but sometimes a little stressful as there were many firsts (first period, first junior high experience but I couldn't tell my crush that I liked him! Too shy. First high school dance. That was great. But the more I got older, the more responsibility I was learning I had to have!) The teens were the time I learned to drive too and got my license at 17 back in 2001. I think the 20's were a more calm decade for me for the most part for some reason. Maybe a little TOO calm though. I was definitely in my prime and I was thinking just one slip up of unprotected you know, and bam, I would have gotten pregnant! That's how naive I was with sex lol. Of course, I didn't lose my v-card till I was 28.

The happiest I've ever been in life, was when I was 18. I was excited for the future. I was happy and pleasant.
I'm almost 65 now. I think by the time a person is 30 they should be stable in their life. I was 30 in 1988. By that time I had my Engineering degrees and was already in management. This is a dangerous time to not be happy. The clock is ticking and I highly suggest fixing that. The average person by the age of 30 even professionals like Physicians and Attorneys should be working by this age. If you have not found happiness by 30 chances are you will never find it. I refuse to blow sunshine up a persons butt. Since the average life span is around 90 years by the time you reach 30 1/3rd of your life has passed by! By this age, you should be fully aware you are no longer a child or think like one. Honestly, in almost every person male or female you start to decline in your 30s.

Best years of my life were probably: 18, 28, 32 and 35.
32 to especially a big year where I successfully had some my early 20s daydreams come true. I was living next to the beach, was training and competing in pro mma, I was a local champ and I had a younger very cute girlfriend was deeply in love with me. She was there to see me win a local belt (like my own personal Rocky story). She treated me well and we had lots of romance and sex that founded on true love. It was a SoCal “beach fighter” vibe I wished for 10 years early. But when it actually happened I was so happy I literally felt 22 despite being 32. The vibe was so wonderful that many people guess me for much younger.

I don't think you can measure happiness in that way.
Happiness is momentarily & for me one happy moment is no greater than another. The happiness I feel while walking in the park on a chilly morning is just as dear to me as the happiness I feel with my partner.
I started to become content with my life and myself in my mid 20s & I've only become more content the older I get. I hope that progress never stops. -
Childhood!! Had tones of friends, did bad shit on the regular, parents never really watched me so did whatever I wanted, didn't have to worry about grown up shit, parents were together and paid everything... life was good... Had some good stuff happen when I was 17-18 but never to the greatness of childhood.
Now at 34 life is okay lots of things are working out for me. I am actually doing good things for myself and being successful, but I hate being old lol -
What a great question! @nikki1989 landed pretty close to where I'm feeling. I tried to pick one either past or future and I couldn't. Because life is a collection of ups and downs. The happiness in aggregate outweighs the crappy times in aggregate. But how to pick most happy? Can't do it. There's collections of amazing experiences every year and bad stuff too.

The worst year of my life was 2017. At the age of 23, my mum died from a short battle with cancer. I then became next of kin for her dad (my grandad), because he had now lost both of his daughters and wife. I did my best to care for him. He passed in 2021. I got treated unfairly by my employer at the time so I left. This all coincided with a string of failed romances which left me believing that I was incapable of being loved.
I had met someone back in 2020 who I recognised from school. We didn’t get the chance to meet up due to the pandemic but we became very close after talking to each other every day. 2022 was the best year of my life so far. We moved into our first home together, he proposed to me and we are getting married in June. The reason for the long answer is because I want to share my experience. Love comes unexpected and surprises you. - 1.3K opinions shared on Other topic.
Ypu are always happoest till responsibilities start piling up. Forst responsilities to excel at college and then to find a sustainable job and then family.
Happiest time is always before you become an adult. You only realize when it is all behind you.

My 20's were ridiculously awesome! Great job, place of my own, girlies, family was around, my fave sports team was kicking ass! It was also the first time I had my heart broken, only to stupidly have it shattered by the same woman. Albeit me leaving out a shitload of details, my 20's was where I learned and grew the most.

I had a very prestigious job, with Fluor Engineering, in Irvine California, and ran every evening after work with some of my women co-workers. During my 30's I had VERY GOOD jobs with huge corporations and enjoyed that kind of status

Mid 40's. I speak from experience.
Why? I'm living my best life. I'm financially secure. I'm surrounded by people whom I love and care about. I'm doing what I love. And I really don't give a damn what anyone else thinks of how I choose to live my life anymore.

I don't think I'll ever feel permanently happy. I have had some happy moments during my life so far, but I can't imagine feeling happy all the time.

I think I might perhaps be better when I'm 25+ years. old. But for now, I'm just a really young person walking around and trying to figure out just about anything.

Childhood, even though I hated it, it was possible for me to feel a few minutes of joy once in a blue moon but now it's been so long that I don't even know what joy feels like anymore.
I want to die cause everything can only continue getting worse -

I bet by my thirties I will. Then I’ll have a good job and be settled down with my life partner and maybe even be ready for kids.

haven't got to 40 yet. But 20s you should be learning your trade, meeting new people, etc. 30s is for banking on that hard work with a job you hopefully like and an SO you hopefully like. 40s may be more bank so we’ll see…

Best ages until now was 17. 20 has been a little up and down. I think the thirties will be good, since my life will finally be settling down.
